I uninstalled the search engine, I started my browser with the add-ons disabled, and I don't have the DIV add-on so I don't know what to do! But every time I open my browser Bing pops up. However, when I hit my home button, it takes me directly to my homepage (which should have came up first), so I know my homepage didn't get reset.

It also happens when I let my computer sleep, and I re-open it, Bing pops open another tab and its the first thing that opens. I don't know what to do to get rid of it, but it is driving me insane!!! Please help!!

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
